My 2000 Arnold Leg Day Workout

Flex Wheeler • Jun 06, 2022

This was my workout for the 2000 Arnold Classic.

The Arnold Classic UK IFBB lineups have been posted!!!  I’ve decided to post my leg day workout from 2000, the year I won my (then) record-setting fourth Arnold Classic!  Enjoy!


  1. 6 sets of Single leg extension  20 reps each. 
  2. Leg press 6 sets 20 reps. 
  3. 6 sets of Single leg leg press 20 reps
  4. 6 sets of squats 20 reps
  5. Lying hamstring curl  6 sets of 20 
  6. 6 sets of 20 standing hamstring curl
  7. Seated hamstring curl 6 sets of 20
  8. Hamstring straight leg deadlifts 6 sets of 20
  9. Waking lunges every day


Tempo used for all sets was 2111.  This workout took a long time to complete and it was hard.  So you have to keep in mind, this was my career at the time.  This workout would typically take more than 2 hours, not really doable for the majority of people out there…even competitors that have to work to pay the bills. 


Also,
this was my workout that worked for me.  There is no guarantee that it will work for you…never trust a trainer/coach that uses the same workout for everyone.  What I currently use with Andrew Jacked looks different.  What I currently use with William Knight (UFC fighter) looks different.  There is no one-size-fits-all answer...EXCEPT everyone squats!
